Outdoor theater plans five shows this season

The Snow Camp Outdoor Theatre’s latest summer season will begin June 26 with the Revolutionary War drama, “The Sword Of Peace” followed by the Quakers’ involvement in the Underground Railroad starting July 3. Two children’s shows — “Princess and the Pea” and “Robin Hood” will begin July 9 and July 12, respectively, and the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic musical “Oklahoma!” will be shown starting Aug. 13. Gates open at 7:30 p.m. for the historical dramas and the children’s show will alternate between Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings.

Margaret Dalton will return as music director. She served as music director a few years ago before working at Theatre West Virigina's outdoor drama until it closed.
